Dipity

Timeline activity about Black Saturday
Instructions:
In groups of 2-3 students create a timeline of the events and important information that lead up to Black Saturday, that happened during Black Saturday and that happened in the months after Black Saturday.
Using Dipity students can create their timeline online. This allows students to easily create the format of a timeline. This allows students more time to concentrate on finding and understand the information that they are putting onto the timeline, instead of wasting time trying to hand draw a timeline and getting all the information to fit correctly onto it.
Students will also be able to come back to this timeline at any point to refine their timeline if they learn about any other important information that should be included on their timeline with ease.
